MEET THE INTERNS: VERNA VUORIPURO

Who I am: I am Verna, a 21-year-old journalist, business student and communications professional from Helsinki. I have worked at a big newspaper, a small startup and a few other places in between. I am passionate about community management, content production, music and dogs. I spend my spare time being a complete foodie on the streets of Brooklyn. What I do at FACC: Strategic planning of our communications and marketing, producing content, meeting insanely interesting people, updating our social media channels and monitoring analytics. Why New York: New York is a hyper competitive environment to build business relations. It toughens you up, in a good way! The abundance of restaurants, networking events, potential new friends and cultural experiences is astonishing. What I have learned: Openness, resilience, internationality and self-knowledge. To measure and model communications and to understand the importance of those functions. To navigate NYC and its quirky, absurd and extreme qualities. Find me online:Website, LinkedIn, Twitter
